<div>A lot depends on what kind of camera you are using.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My arduino hack that Ted pointed to worked great driving a Sony Alpha DSLR and would likely work with similar DSLRs with some tweaking. It would require cutting up a shutter release cord ($10?) Last I looked gphoto2 didn't support pulling images from
my camera model, so you may need a way to manually get the images.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As many have said, driving a USB webcam is pretty simple and probably your best bet. If you want to spend ~$50(?) get a Raspberry Pi, the camera attachment w/ extra long ribbon. That works great for me. The RPi3 has wifi, so just provide power and some
scripting to take the image and push it somewhere for processing. The RPi3 is probably powerful enough to collect images and create periodic timelapse videos.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Depending on your bandwidth, you could have the RPi just livestream directly to youtube. It isn't a timelapse, but does let you keep an eye on something and can go back and review anything missed. I did that for a couple snow storms last April. Very
simple scripting to set it all up.</div>
